As the presenting partner of Big Feastival, M&S Food invites you to join us as a guest at this year’s extravaganza of music, food and fun from 25 - 27 August.
Taking place on Alex James' beautiful Cotswold’s farm, Big Feastival brings together music from the UK’s biggest artists, Michelin star chefs live on stage, award-winning street food and an exciting array of family activities, in an action packed weekend and unrivalled programme of entertainment.
The Farm near Kingham, Oxfordshire, OX7 6UJ. Kingham is a village in the Cotswolds about 4 miles southwest of Chipping Norton. For further information on the different ways to reach us, click here.
Those driving to Big Feastival 2023 will need to purchase a Parking Pass. We recommend purchasing in advance as they will be cheaper than purchasing on the day. Please make sure all parking passes are printed and displayed in the front of your vehicle upon arrival at the site. You can purchase your parking passes here.
On arrival, please show your QR code ticket at the main gate, where you will be given your wristband to gain access to the festival. Campers, follow signs to the campsite to gain entry and receive your wristbands.
M&S Lounge wristbands will be allocated to guests at the entrance of the M&S Lounge, our exclusive area this year! See site map for new location. Any additional VIP lanyards will also be allocated at the M&S Lounge.
There’s so much to see and do at The Big Feastival so make sure to plan your day carefully! We’ve included some festival highlights and the festival map below to help you
All M&S colleagues and their guests will be able to visit the exclusive M&S Lounge, located to the right of the Main Stage. Here you can enjoy complementary soft drinks and snacks, comfy seats and posh loos! Each guest will also receive drinks tokens so they can enjoy up to three alcoholic beverages per day on us! So come in and take a break from the crowds in a specially curated space just for you.
With an upstairs terrace, the M&S Bar features a range of our incredible wines and pre-mixed Marksologist cocktails. Enjoy a drink whilst taking in arguably the best view of the Main Stage – see you there!
Find our M&S Food Store in the Main Arena where you can pick up your festival essentials, snacks and drinks. Percy Pig Slushee anyone?
Showcasing the freshest, quality ingredients sourced from handpicked M&S Select Farms, the M&S Food Cookery School tent is the perfect place to learn all about our provenance and sourcing stories. We will guide you through making a delicious, seasonally-relevant dish that showcases some of our unique M&S products. On the menu? Collection Rigatoni with Sunflower Seed Pesto, Tomatoes and Pickled Chilli!
New for this year, the first session of each day will be open specifically for teens and those who are no longer Little Cooks. Spaces are limited, and this year prebooking for these sessions opens on August 21st at 2pm. Click here to book!
A festival family highlight, the M&S Little Cooks tent provides an amazing opportunity for children aged 4-12 to learn about food and get stuck into cooking. A truly interactive class that includes a 15 min tour of the Kitchen Garden, where the Little Cooks will discover how we source and grow our freshest produce, before heading into the kitchen to build their own Chicken & Mango Poke Bowl.

This year we are delighted to be able to introduce you to not two but three of our producers. Come for a taste and stay to hear their brilliant stories of how they are championing innovation and setting pioneering environmental standards.
Daily Dose are on a mission to change the narrative within the juice industry and highlight the importance of fresh wonky produce. Their new range of exclusive M&S flavours launch in September, so Feastival-goers will get a sneak peek (and an even sneakier taste)!
Warner’s Distillery are determined to save the world from mediocre drinks and have partnered with M&S to create a new low alcohol cocktail range! A craft gin distillery, they believe that real tastes better which is why they cram their 100% natural spirits with all the flavour of the British countryside.
Wildfarmed are working hard to revolutionise farming, focusing on soil health and plant diversity, all without the use of 'cides. They believe real food is good food and once you try their delicious bread, we're sure you'll agree.
Sleeping over? We have breakfast covered! You can relax, safe in the knowledge that there is a fully stocked M&S Café and food store in the campsite, providing campers with much-needed bacon rolls, fresh fruit, Percy & Colin Slushees and – of course – coffee.
This year, contactless payments will be available across all bars, hot food outlets and funfair rides. There is also one cash machine on site, located next to the Waltz in The Udder Field.
